Yeah I love seeing governments and researchers do stuff like this. Years ago a country released a 1to1 scale map of their whole country, denmark I think.

Yeah same. An infinite converging series isn't an impressive paradox, all he did was argue you could split an ever smaller fraction of space in half. After learning about it i spent a frustrating amount of time trying to fogure out "how is this a paradox?"

I mean, it's less visually noisy, but that's it?

This dude's willing to go to arms over this?

The TL;DR is that while organic maps is open source the people maintaining it are running it as a for profit company.

Comaps is a fork that insists on being a nonprofit

Yeah that's not the worst offering. Had I gone to a place with that menu I probably would have ordered something to give it a shot. But here we are, no way in hell I would visit a tesla diner

Ah, I don't use KDE, that is a dumb name for a file manager.

Naming, like in the general sense, it seems like many software have some ridiculous names (dolphin, ncmpcpp, gimp, foot, gnome)

For dolphin, if your talking about the emulator it is avalible for windows too and its called that since thats what the gamecube was called internally.

For gimp, yeah i hate the name too, its the "gnu imange manipulation program" and is also avalible for windows.

Those programs that look like random assortments of characters are generally libraries that other programs use to standarize functionality across programs. Don't want there to be 15 different ways for your computer to understand "write this file to this location" for example. You'll generally never need to know what they are or what they do.

Yea, im on a 6 pro with calyx. Its been my daily driver now for a few years. Apps that use in app purchases work to varying degrees. Up until recently pokemongo didn't launch as an example. Others won't load prices or store pages well, but thats to be expected without full google approval.

Some banking apps do work some don't. Mine stopped working for like 3 weeks then returned to normal.

Everything bluetooth has worked on here just fine. Every day i connect my bluetooth headset and listen to podcasts at work or through bluetooth in my car just fine.

I literally had the "Java is to javascript as car is to carpet" conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn't get it and I had to explain to him that you don't drive a carpet to work.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I really don't understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.

They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn't even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.
